very exciting!
It's great to see the pics of the 2nd specimen here - and how cooperative it is, sticking its foreleg right out at us. I will attempt to sit on my hands and stop bugging you about these beautiful beetles now :-)

Well, okay, one more thing maybe. How many antennal segments does it have? I'm trying to count but can't come up with the same number 2 out of 3 times.
